Susan is having a bakery in the heart of the city and supplies special type of cheese cookies to all the retail outlets based on

the demand. Her cost of making each box of cookies is 15 SAR and she sells it at 18 SAR. The historical data shows that her demand is normally distributed with a mean of 250 boxes per day with a standard deviation of 22 boxes. All those boxes that are not picked up on the same day by the retailers are sold in her own shop at 10 SAR on the next day. What is the optimal stocking level?

Answer:

The optimal stocking level is 243 boxes

Explanation:

In order to calculate the optimal stocking level we would have to calculate the following formula:

optimal stocking level=mean+(Z* standard deviation)

According to the given data we have the following:

mean=250 boxes per day

standard deviation=22 boxes

To calculate the z value we would have to calculate the service level as follows:

service level=shortage/(shortage+overage)

service level=3/(3+5)

service level=0.38

Hence, z value is -0.31

Therefore, optimal stocking level=250 + (-0.31 * 22)

optimal stocking level=243 boxes

The optimal stocking level is 243 boxes

Different segments of the project are delegated to respective functional units called as the Functional Organization.

<h3>What is a Functional Organization?</h3>

The notion of specializations based on function or role is used by functional organizations as a sort of organizational structure. For businesses with one or a few product offerings as well as medium-sized and small organizations, an efficient organizational structure is ideal. For instance, the little company AB Company manufactures diapers and employs around one hundred people. A matrix organization is a sort of corporate structure that divides a corporation into various sections according to areas of specialization. Functional managers or heads of departments are responsible for managing these departments, which act as functional units.

Becton Labs, Inc., produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an ela
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Becton Labs, Inc.

1. Direct materials:

a. Price variance

= $20,600 Favorable

Quantity variance

= $1,890 Unfavorable

b. The company can sign the contract provided it is made clear to the new supplier that price variations would not be welcome shortly after signing the contract, but will depend on the market realities.

2. Direct labor:

a. Direct labor rate and efficiency variances:

Direct labor rate variance

= $3,200 Favorable

Efficiency variance

= $8,160 Unfavorable

b. I would not recommend that the new labor mix be continued.  The old mix may be working better because the labor efficiency cost increased with the new mix labor mix.

3. The variable overhead rate and efficiency variances:

Variable overhead rate variance

= $5,200 Favorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance

= $2,380 Unfavorable

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Standard  Costs for 1 Unit of Fludex:

                                              Standard              Standard      Standard Cost

                                        Quantity or Hours   Price or Rate  

Direct materials                     2.40 ounces    $27.00 per ounce   $64.80

Direct labor                           0.60 hours        $12.00 per hour          7.20

Variable manufacturing

overhead                             0.60 hours          $3.50 per hour          2.10

Total standard cost per unit                                                           $74.10

Activities recorded during November:

a. Materials purchased = 13,000 ounces at $330,300

Each ounce = $25.41 (330,300/13,000)

b. Materials used for production = 10,150 ounces (13,000 - 2,850)

Standard materials = 4,200 * 2.40 = 10,080 ounces

c. Direct labor hours = 20 * 160 = 3,200 hours

Standard labor hours = 0.60 * 4,200 = 2,520

Average labor rate = $11.00 per hour

Direct labor costs = $35,200 ($11.00 * 3,200)

d. Standard variable overhead = $11,200 (3,200 *$3.50)

Actual overhead incurred = $6,000

Actual overhead rate = $1.43 ($6,000/4,200)

e. Units produced = 4,200

1. Direct materials:

a. Price variance = (Actual price - standard price)* Actual units

= ($25.41 - $27.00)13,000 = $20,600 F

Quantity variance = (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) Standard Cost

= (10,150 - 10,080) * $27.00

= $1,890 U

b. The company can sign the contract provided it is made clear to the new supplier that price variations would not be welcome shortly after signing the contract, but will depend on the market realities.

2. Direct labor:

a. Direct labor rate and efficiency variances:

Direct labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours

= ($11 - $12) * 3,200 = $3,200 Favorable

Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard rate

= (3,200 - 2,520) * $12

= $8,160 Unfavorable

b. I would not recommend that the new labor mix be continued.  The old may be working better because the labor efficiency cost increased.

3. The variable overhead rate and efficiency variances:

Variable overhead rate variance = Actual costs − (AH × SR)

= $6,000 - (3,200 * $3.50)

= $6,000 - $11,200

= $5,200 Favorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance =  (AH − SH) × SR

= (3,200 - 2,520) * $3.50

= $2,380 Unfavorable
